Week 10 of 12
"Be still, and know that I am God..."
Psalm 46:10
Coffee Moment
Focus on an aroma or taste and stay with it for a few seconds.
Reflection
We rush from one thing to the next, finding ourselves exhausted. The Lord desires for us to know Him and be present. Presence is listening and trusting in the Lord, and not about inactivity. In the stillness, we become aware of his truths and how he cares for us. Take moments throughout the day to enjoy the stillness and calm. Set aside other distractions and focus on the conversation. Presence is about engaging in the moment to deepen relationships.
